About lawns. And look who came over the fence for breakfast. Cute little bastards.

I found a simple guide to lawn care.
http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/lists/organic/2004020829016580.html ("Organic Gardening FAQ Page")

This is my summary:

1. Spring: sprinkle food on the lawn. Food can be coffee grounds ("Any ground seed or bean is good as an organic fertilizer including used coffee grounds.").
2. Summer: do nothing unless there's a drought, then water.
3. Fall: sprinkle compost and food (coffee) on the lawn.
4. Winter: do nothing.

I have lots of coffee grounds and lots of compost so if I decide to start taking care of the diminishing lawn, this is how I'll start. (Unfortunately, every time I read over the FAQ page I find something I don't understand: eg, on the latest reading I realized that I can't tell when compost is supposed to be applied to the lawn.)
